BRIEFS
Financial aid priority
filing deadline; tax
deadline
MuQents who complete tneir
files in the Student Financial
Services office by Monday,
April 17, will be given
priority in determining aid for
the 1989-90 academic year.

aid data sheet, and 1989 tax
forms.
The filing deadline for U.S.
income tax is also Monday.
However, according to the
Internal Revenue Service,
taxpayers who file Form 1040
or 1040A can request an
automatic four-month
extension of time to file their
returns. To obtain this
extension, taxpayers must
complete Form 4868,
"Application for Automatic
Extension of Time to File
U.S. Individual Income Tax
Return," and forward it by
Monday to the IRS center
processing returns for their
area. Form 4868 is available

head coach Mark Benedetto. Before the testing, Benedetto felt
very confident that all tests would
clear the squad of any suspicion
of drug use.
Before the testing occured, two
players voluntarily admitted to
using marijuana. Because they
voluntarily came forward, there
will be no disciplinary action
against the two players. However, they will not be allowed to
suit up for the rest of the
season. The players will be able
to retain their scholarship status,
as well as return to playing next
year.

two suspended players to come
forward and both can rest assured
that their decision was the right
one," said team member Price
Crossno.
The testing of the team marked
the first of its kind for the College and also singled out Cal
Baptist as the first GSAC college
to conduct drug testing for an entire team of student athletes and
coaches.
"What we are attempting to do
in our baseball program by ini
tiating drug testing for our enure
team is to demonstrate to our student athletes that we care more
about them than we do about
wins or losses, home runs, or
base hits," said Benedetto.
"As athletic director, I also
wanted the sport that I personally
coach to set the stage for future
drug testing requirements of the
six other Cal Baptist sponsored
sports," he added.
Much attention has been drawn
to the baseball team in recent
days, as well as several rumors.
"Unfortunately, drug testing
also opens up a source of negative conversation on a college
campus and local community,"
commented Benedetto. "That has
been the case involving the baseball team as well. The rumor
mill has provided some unfair
speculation and untrue con trove: -
sy."
One rumor involved the pre-
scence of sheriffs and their drug
hounds sniffing out the gym for
possible drugs and paraphernalia.
The truth of the matter, according
to Benedetto, is that the sheriff

New ASCBC executive council elected
By Dan Kohn
Assistant Editor of The Banner
The Associated Students of Cal
Baptist elected a new Executive
Council in elections concluded
Thursday. The new council consists of Daniel Pryfogle, president; Scott Paynton, vice-
president; Scott Harris, program
coordinator, and Rob Yarbrough,
business manager.
The only contested election
among the four positions was for
program coordinator, in which
Harris was engaged in a tight duel
with sophomore business major
Kathy Dean. The other three candidates ran unopposed.
"I'm a little bit disappointed we
didn't have turnout (of candidates)," said current program coordinator Stacy Scott. "There's
not the sense of competition, not
quite the race as last year."
Junior Alana Baker echoed the
concern of many students ex-
presssing her desire for more
competition, saying, "I like the
candidates, but I wish they had to
"I like the candidates,
but I wish they had to

fight for it."
Newly elected ASCBC President Daniel Pryfogle stressed that
he wanted to make sure the administration would, "really be
committed to the student body
not because they represent a dollar figure or a number in the enrollment game, but because they
are the very reason for the Col
lege."
He also stated his desire to
change the perception among students that, "We don't have a say."
He wishes to do this by lobbying
for increased student representation in College committees.
Pryfogle also stated he wanted
to, "shake up our student body in
the area of apathy."
Pryfogle concluded with his
goal of building community here,
to build the idea that, "We're all
in this together."
The new council comes from a
variety of backrounds. Pryfogle
currendy serves as editor of The
Banner. Paynton has a backround
in church leadership. Harris is
junior class president. Yarbrough, the only returner to the
council, will begin his second
term as business manager.
The new Executive Council
will be training for the next few
weeks. The first responsibility
of the council is Campus Day-
May 12.
